FabriPav Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 That's apparently what they want to do. I'm not sure it will result into anything though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyduh Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Why not? Because the media might latch onto it and start reporting that Muse shows are unsafe because the band has to bribe officials to be able to perform etc... not to mention the possible investigations and stuff. I'm not sure if any of this will happen, but it's good to be careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I would assume it would probably be best to not accept bribe money in the first place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I would assume, in the first place, it would be best not to offer bribe money. Well, that would be correct, too. I'm not terribly in the know about Italy, though. Everyone is making it sound like this is very common practice? For all I know, it could have been instigated by the person who took the money, not the band, or vice versa. I actually assumed he was kidding when I first read it, as it's a rather common exaggeration hereabouts; "man, I had to really bribe them for this" and all, when we just mean, you know, we had to ask more than once.

Well not really very common practice for bands who tour here, I think but yes, it's not really an unknown thing. Defending the band much, eh?

serpentsatellite Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Well not really very common practice for bands who tour here, I think but yes, it's not really an unknown thing. Defending the band much, eh? "Vice versa" means it could have been the other way, too. I just didn't feel like typing them both out. More like, bribery seemed like it was a pretty poorly kept secret. It also sounded nicer than "as an American, when I hear Italian, all I think about is mobsters." Edited July 29, 2013 by SerpentSatellite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 This'll just end up an a morality investigation. The police will investigate because it looks bad not to and come to a conclusion of "Insufficient evidence" and wrap the whole thing up nicely.

Finn. Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 If there is an investigation about the Muse Bribe, the investigation will end when Muse bribe again. But it must be done, how could go into Italy without firepower enough to melt a stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The italian promoter denied that any kind of bribe happened (what's the point in denying it if the band's frontman said it happened... ), but seems like the police started investigations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furygirl Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well, looks like maybe Muse won't be invited back to Italy then. Sorry, Fabreze. Matt and his big mouth. Seriously.

Artemis86 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The old "Muse playing Newton Abbot racecourse" rumour has resurfaced in this week's Mid-Devon Advertiser.... " Racecourse managing director says he has not been contacted about a gig although 'he could make it happen' if someone did." To me, it seems like nothing more than something to fill the page 'cause the article also includes the mention from last year about them taking over the Council for a day...

mskatie Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Muse's performance of Origin of Symmetry at the Reading Festival is briefly mentioned in this article about Green Day and their performance of Dookie. "When Muse pulled a similar trick two years ago with 'Origins Of Symmetry', it felt like a strung-out exercise in self indulgence, only salvaged by an anthem packed second half of greatest hits. But Green Day somehow seem to pull it off. 'Basket Case' 'When I Come Around' and 'St Jimmy' go down a treat especially when Billie Joe pulls out his box of toys on the latter." http://www.nme.com/blogs/festivals-blog/first-impressions-green-day-the-prodigal-king-of-punk-pop-makes-his-reading-return#Bzgcuk8eAtL8Qawy.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
